Stores the user’s birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.
question: do california, colorado, or brazil’s laws have any teeth?
what is the penalty if i lie? (a) and am an adult? (b) and am a minor? [i don’t really care but for completeness sake]
also, you know those websites that ask for your age so you can see the vidya trailers? will this bypass that so i can just see the redband or am i going to have to put in 1/1/1970 TWICE GODSDAMMIT
The ca law specifically requires parental configuration of new devices and they do not restrict content. It is there to prevent algorithmic feeds and data collection of minors. It is not age verification and does not allow for content restrictions.
Other places want to use the os to restrict content. There are lobbyists trying to get it to tie an ID to your os and to restrict/report content.
did you peek and see i’m in san francisco(ish) and give me the most relevant answer because you’re cute
Only penalty in this law is for OS makers that didn’t include such rules in the OS, paying per affected child.
and who is the os maker…??
I better question in terms of the teeth of the laws is, are there any real consequences to an operating system provider just ignoring them and not providing any kind of age verification in their software whatsoever?
The question I assume will get answered soon enough by GrapheneOS since they have told everyone asking for OS age verification to go pound sand.
In my head, your first word sounded like Dwight Schrute
It hasn’t passed in Colorado
